time to quit work, set up a shed and go full time...

this shits real...

what tidying things up and reselling them?

what tidying things up and reselling them?

yeah sort of, more of a restoration project.

started with 2 bikes the same with the ambition of having one good one and the other as a parts/scrap bike.

but ended up finding enough bits via ebay & other online sales in Europe to make both return to former glory.

sold them both for double what they cost me, so it was pretty profitable.

but money made is better discussed over coffee between gentlemen & not online ;)

im only dreaming about doing it full time, i think 4-5 hours a week is considered a hobby.

I think if I did more than that it would be less about the fun i have doing it and more about paying bills.

Morning Mangs,

Monday :(

Happy Laps yesterday was a great success. Much more fun weaving through traffic than being in open air, or in an XF, which was my last two happy laps sessions.

It was fun. i wasnt doing the weaving tho as i was being weaved past on numerous occasions! But that didnt bother me as it was awesome. Was fun going down the front straight with the sun blearing in your eyes at 180kph and not seeing anything in front.

In other news, seeing as how I don't have anything better to do this week, who wants to go whale watching at some point in time?

I'd be keen, any day.

I'll swing by around 3pm. Is that fine? Later/earlier isn't an issue either so let me know what's best for you.

done and noted.

Did some investigating today, looks like the loom under my drivers side front guard is 100% cactus, even after the repairs to it that Dan did for me. Looks like I found the cause of my electrical issues :(

What does the loom do? I though most of the time the ones in the guards were to do with headlights and indicators.

    • True, might get it looked at. Found out you can in fact flatten the 12v battery relatively easily too the other day (kids lefts the hazards on) so meaning to get that checked in the new year. What's odd is it'll blow cold from both vents if you have the ac down as low as poss (18), but anything else the passenger one blows warmish. Also has been summer since I got it obvs but noticed it didn't seem to want to blow hot last night when we had a cold snap. 
    • You ask for things. You specifically state you want responsiveness. A link was provided for a far superior, more responsive option. Find a MX5 workshop that will install it for you. Maybe MX5 Mania will throw on the Fab9 kit. It seems they want to charge almost 14K installed for their kit, so if they charge you $6K to install the FAB9 kit then you'll be ahead? Though really, the 2.5 with a 2860 running low boost will more or less feel as good as anything else. It's a lot of displacement and a small turbo. Think of a more modern RB26 with one stock turbo :p TBH, truth be told I've been driving my own car, and use about 50% throttle at most for 99.9% of the time. Mr Bogan is likely similar so this is all going to be semantics for the use case he actually has. (He'll be happy with anything relative to now) However, the EFR is hands down far superior in this use case. You really, really, really, really do notice it over the Garrett or equivalent.  
    • You are correct, the earlier the torque, the earlier things snap
    • Gents, it will be getting the MX5 Mania kit and the 2.5 will be staying where it is My query was about the 0.64 or the 0.86, whilst the 0.64 might spool a bit faster, would the 0.86 be better IRT EGT and mechanical sympathy, with only a small difference in spool And as I assume I won't need alot of boost to get to 200kw, probably around 10 psi, and with max rpm at 6500, would high EGT even really be a issue with a 0.64 I'm heading into MX5 Mania at the end of Jan to discuss the install, so any info is welcome prior to that Basically have a chat and book a time so they can throw on the turbo kit, and fit a oil cooler with a thermostat, drive in drive out of course  In other news: just finished cleaning the car inside and out, it's now all ready to get covered in bugs and dirt driving to Goulburn tomorrow to lunch,  and go for a stroll along woolondilly River with the daughter and her boy, and of course, visit my grandcats and my new grandpuppy 
    • Sounds like it has an actual problem with mode select doors, or something.
